Use the Tools of the Trade—Inside the Welder's Toolbox DVD and accompanying instructor’s guide to increase your female (and male!) students’ knowledge of basic tools by demonstrating their use, while giving context to the field in general.
Women tend to have less informal tool-use experience
outside of the classroom and therefore find it more difficult to identify tools when
they enter the trades. This is increasingly true for males and instructors have
reported positive results in both their male and female students after
demonstrating tool-use in their classrooms. With this video, women (and men)
can not only see how the tools look, but also view their applications.
In general, women do better when they see technology modeled, then repeat the
steps themselves through imitative learning. This video will show your students
exactly how each tool is used so that they will be able to use them properly on
their own. Additionally, research shows that want to know how the technology will
be used and they are more likely to stay in a class where that information is given
upfront. This series includes not only examples of tool use, but also contextual
applications of each tool and a bigger picture of the industry itself, including
potential career options.

it profiles the tools used by welders to perform a variety of tasks. Specific tools
and equipment for OFW, GMAW, GTAW, and SMAW are spotlighted, along with a
variety of general tools and safety items. The video also takes a look at basic
welding diagrams and pre-welding treatment of materials. The DVD concludes by
highlighting resources that are available to those interested in becoming
electricians.

- Recognizing and exploring welding career opportunities.
Who Can Use the Series:
This series is appropriate to such curriculum areas as Technology Education,
Trade, and Industrial Education. In addition, the information presented in Tools of
the Trade could also be presented in vocational/technical schools or “Do it
Yourself” adult education courses, as well as Women in Technology courses. Download instructor's guide (PDF).
